Nick Alcock 139633c307 libctf, include, binutils, gdb, ld: rename ctf_file_t to ctf_dict_t
The naming of the ctf_file_t type in libctf is a historical curiosity.
Back in the Solaris days, CTF dictionaries were originally generated as
a separate file and then (sometimes) merged into objects: hence the
datatype was named ctf_file_t, and known as a "CTF file".  Nowadays, raw
CTF is essentially never written to a file on its own, and the datatype
changed name to a "CTF dictionary" years ago.  So the term "CTF file"
refers to something that is never a file!  This is at best confusing.

The type has also historically been known as a 'CTF container", which is
even more confusing now that we have CTF archives which are *also* a
sort of container (they contain CTF dictionaries), but which are never
referred to as containers in the source code.

So fix this by completing the renaming, renaming ctf_file_t to
ctf_dict_t throughout, and renaming those few functions that refer to
CTF files by name (keeping compatibility aliases) to refer to dicts
instead.  Old users who still refer to ctf_file_t will see (harmless)
pointer-compatibility warnings at compile time, but the ABI is unchanged
(since C doesn't mangle names, and ctf_file_t was always an opaque type)
and things will still compile fine as long as -Werror is not specified.
All references to CTF containers and CTF files in the source code are
fixed to refer to CTF dicts instead.

Further (smaller) renamings of annoyingly-named functions to come, as
part of the process of souping up queries across whole archives at once
(needed for the function info and data object sections).

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
